I think it's intelligent, emotional, character-rich storytelling - at the core, I think those are the most important elements, and I think they can be found across all of our dayparts. That's what, for me, ABC really stands for.

We will continue to raise the bar for our audience, investing in great storytellers and reflecting the authentic faces and voices of the world around us.

One of my personal theories of 'The Mayor' is that I feel like the show arrived on the scene at a time when people were feeling a little bit fatigued about anything that had to do with politics.

'Nashville' is a show that I personally truly loved, and to not have it back was a little bit of a heartbreak for me.

I love the physical movement and beauty of dance.

I do want to focus on shows that are lighter, brighter, more emotional: shows that give the audience a chance to connect and to feel.

We're going to continue to focus on family comedies because that is something that our audience really comes to ABC for. But at the same time, we're going to push the boundaries of what a family comedy actually means.

In terms of CBS, I think that the consistency for them, it feels like they have a really clear sense of who they are and what they want, and they're able to keep delivering very consistently on their brand, which is really terrific, and I think NBC has taken some really smart and interesting routes in the things that they've done.

When I think about the shows that we have on our air, we've been known for a long time for shows that feature strong, dynamic, powerful women at their forefront. And we're going to continue with that kind of storytelling.

'Ten Days in the Valley' has everything: It's a thriller, it's a taut, exciting love story, and it has the kind of character our audience loves - a strong, powerful woman who is also dangerously flawed.

What we love about the character Katie, played by Katy Mixon, is that she feels very universal and very relatable. And what we love about 'American Housewife' is that it feels like it could speak for housewives from New York to Los Angeles, from Boise to Miami.

At the end of the day, broadcast television has many opportunities to inform the audience, to enlighten the audience, and to entertain them.
